Parabellum

That is crazy! I have never seen that. Thx for sharing. When did you get that book?

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a few 9.8’s graded as standard editions that are really CPV’s.

One more book to go (Aliens 1988 #5 third print) and the “Aliens, Predator, Terminator and AVP 1988-1992 (Dark Horse) all variants” mega set will be complete.

Second print, only 2 in 9.8.

Got any pictures of the books you’re talking about?

Love the story behind this book.

Just picked this up in a My Comic Shop auction. First appearance of Indiana Jones in comics.

Agree

Definitely a collectors item for sure and has a place within a few Aliens registry sets. But you’re right $8500 is just a bit much. I don’t fault him for shooting for the stars though.

I would consider a decimal point move to $850.

Interesting, didn’t think CGC would grade this. Guarantee this is tough in 9.8, but not $8500 tough.

Big Comic 1 Oct 1968; First appearance of Golgo 13, published in Japan.

$2800-3500 is my guess.

I started reading this series cause of your post. How did I miss this as a kid?

You’d see me breathing hard on the glass. 🤣

I actually emailed them last year and asked if they had any warehouse stock that they wanted to get rid of. Got no reply, 😂.

Now to hunt down that #5 third print…

I had the pleasure of striking a deal with Izlo on the ONLY Aliens #1 second print in 9.8. The deal went off without a hitch! I hope Izlo frequents the boards more often. His passion for comics and other collectibles will be a welcome addition to the boards. Do not hesitate to transact with this boardie. You won’t be disappointed.

Managers to strike a deal with @Izlo on the Aliens #1 second print. Interesting back story in the book. He was the original owner and a pleasure to work with. I hope he frequents the boards more often. Now 1 more book to go for Aliens vol 1 and 2 more to go for a complete set of all prints and variants of Dark Horse Aliens, Predator, AVP and Terminator 1988-1992.

First cover and comic appearance of Sarah Conner and the T-1000. Released in conjunction with the full color trade paperback the night prior (2 July 1991) to the premier of T2 in theaters. The three issue mini series was released two weeks later.

V1 “straight arm” Cobra Trooper and Officer

That is a slick cover.

Wether it’s the same person or not I agree with @Microchip in having no problem with someone getting a good idea of what the fair market value of a rare niche book would be, especially with Aliens reprints. This is in all honesty the best thread on the internet to ask said question. But I just don’t see a collector paying first print prices for a second print. I am definitely less than a handful of people that pay quite a bit more for these books. These are for my PC and my PC only. I didn’t invest into Dark Horse books for the potential resale. @Izlo If you’re the owner of the lone 9.8 copy I’ll give you $800 for the book. Send me a PM if you want to do business.

Just purchased from @Par2ch.
